Festival Freedom Ticket

Genre:

The 9th annual Ribble Valley Jazz Festival hits the streets of Clitheroe and resounds around the valleys on May Day bank holiday weekend 3rd - 7th May 2018

It showcases the very best of Jazz in all its genres and brings together performers from across the world to the pubs, clubs restaurants and venues in and around Clitheroe. The Grand is proud to be the headline venue for the festival. Over previous years we've seen stars such as Jacqui Dankworth, Lianne Carroll, James Taylor, Courtney Pine, Dennis Rollins, Snake Davis, Stacey Kent, Arun Ghosh and many, many more.

Our full festival programme will be announced in November, but so far we are delighted to have confirmed the fabulous Clare Teal Trio as one of our headline guests (performing on Friday, May 4th).

Once again it is possible for a limited number of festival-goers to purchase Ribble Valley Jazz Festival Freedom tickets. This pass enables you to attend all the festival shows - and save a significant sum when compared with purchasing individual tickets across the weekend.

Here are some notes to help you benefit efficiently from your purchase of a Festival ‘Freedom Card’, and to make your enjoyment of the festival.

Most ticketed and free gigs/workshops/presentations are based in Clitheroe, and easy to walk between. There are a few free gigs in local villages hotels - Sawley, Mitton - If you choose these in your itinerary you will need to access transport.

RV Jazz Festival is larger and more broadly based than ever, giving you excellent choices between paid a free gigs, gigs in specific venues, and gigs that include food.

Our colourful festival brochure is due late February and will be available online, suitable for smart- phones, & as a printed copies, but watch out for regular releases of e-newsletters that will include festi- val updates.

There will be around 500 musicians and 80 gigs, workshops, & presentations during the festival, so recommend browsing through the brochure well in advance, and plan your festival itinerary. We will put ‘tick boxes’ by the side of gigs to remind you of your favourite choices.

50 Freedom Passes are available giving special price advantage for early purchase. Freedom Passes are valid for most ticketed gigs, excepting 2/3 gigs that include food. Freedom Tickets are still excellent value for money! Read these notes for clarity.
